I feel like the people who have been reviewing this book on different sites aren't from the target audience. I'm about to turn 25 and this book made me roll my eyes way more than any other devotional I have ever read. At one point, she makes the argument that being angry is a sin. Jesus got angry. Is she saying he sinned? Scripture also says "In your anger, do not sin," which is saying that it is possible to be angry without sinning. There are also a lot of hokey devotions about how you shouldn't ever be negative and being positive positive positive is the only way for a Christian.
Maybe I'm just jaded with Christianity, especially Christian literature, and especially Christian literature that is supposed to be geared towards my generation. I'm sure this would speak to someone who has been within the white, middle-class Evangelical bubble their whole lives, but for people like me who strive to be intellectuals and free thinkers while still being Christian, it isn't worth the money.
Oh, one thing I really liked: This book has the softest cover of any book I have ever touched.
